They shouldn't be allowed to be driving because they have 2 brain and they could be confusing each each while on wheel.
imagine if one think of blaming brake for a little pothole and the other think think of driving over it.

Or what do you guys think ?

You should have simply said that you've not heard about them. Many conjoined twins have been born in Nigeria.

Wait o who controls the both arm and legs or do they control it separately
Like if they want to walk does Abby wait for Brittany to move her leg forward and she follows along or how And do they have to share rounds of spoon to eat since nutrition affects both and who gets to feel they should ease their self or they feel it at the same time and if I slap Brittany would Abby feel it? Also do they gist theirselves before they sleep at night like normally when you think at night so they could just have someone to talk to
And what if argh I've got a lot of questions I've to meet them in person! angry
i asked all these questions within. im even asking if they will die separately or one will have to carry a hanging dead head. i think the part of slapping one depends on where she is slapped because the brain is the receptor for pain. if its in a place that's common to them, then both should feel it

One person having two heads. They give it a name and call it conjoined twins. These are signs of end time. People should start preparing for the end.
gabonsky:
Abby and Brittany Hensel took the world by storm when they appeared on TLC. The conjoined twins have spent most of their lives in the public eye, showing the world how siblings who are conjoined go through with every day tasks.


Abby and Brittany share a body, but have two separate heads and brains. They are completely different people and emphasize they want to be treated as such.


This is the break down of how their body is distributed:

2 heads
2 spines merging at the coccyx and joined at the thorax by sections of ribs. Surgery was employed to correct scoliosis.
2 completely separate spinal cords
2 arms (originally 3, but rudimentary central arm was surgically removed, leaving central shoulder blade in place)
1 broad ribcage with 2 highly fused sternums and traces of bridging ribs. Surgery was employed to expand the pleural cavities.
2 breasts
2 hearts in a shared circulatory system (nutrition, respiration, medicine taken by either affects both)
4 lungs with the medial lungs moderately fused, not involving Brittany's upper right lobe; three pleural cavities
1 diaphragm with well-coordinated involuntary breathing, slight central defect
2 stomachs
2 gallbladders
1 liver, enlarged and elongated right lobe
Y-shaped small intestine, which experiences a slightly spastic double peristalsis at the juncture
1 large intestine (one colon)
3 kidneys: 2 left, 1 right
1 bladder
1 set of reproductive organs
2 separate half-sacrums, which converge distally
1 slightly broad pelvis
2 legs


Watching Abby and Brittany grow up through TLC specials, the world saw them go to school, celebrate their birthdays, and even get their driver's license (yes, they each had to pass separately.)

Abby and Brittany's parents contemplated separation, but ultimately decided against it because it was likely one of the twins wouldn't survive.


Their first appearance on TV was in 1996 on The Oprah Winfrey Show. The twins captured everyone's hearts with their upbeat attitudes and positive views on life.


In 2012, their last TLC special aired which ultimately turned into a full-blown TV show for them. Since 2013, however, they have been keeping a relatively low profile.


Now, in 2017, the twins are teaching (together, obviously) at Mounds View elementary school.


It's great to see that Abby and Brittany are able to lead normal lives after being so publicized in their early life!

So you've never heard about cojoined twins in Nigeria? Google the 'Shobowale twins'..... And if God has something against a race at all, I am pretty sure it should be the blacks, not the whites.

Such deformity is not restricted to a particular race.

We don't have a favorable environment for people with disabilities how much more deformed.

Typical Afonja...always thinking about women and sexxx even in times like these. No element of decency at all! Tomorrow you will open a thread asking us why does women don't find you attractive? Why would they find you attractive with these behavior of yours and Afonjas.
